The Citizen, 2010-06-17, Page 2PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 2010. By Jo-Ann McDonald The Brussels Legion Branch 218 has been busy catering to fish fry events this week. The crew was off to Wroxeter to feed the 200 diners supporting the Wroxeter Hall Board. Comrades helping for the job included Norm Dobson, Rick McDonald, Glenn Bridge, Lawrence Machan, Ron Howatt, Sharon Robbins, Eric Ross and Jo-Ann McDonald. The second fish fry was at the Branch. A smaller crowd enjoyed the fare. Comrades helping included Greg Wilson, Barrie Currie, Mike Dauphin, Andy Overholt, Cam Ross and Kim Peacock. The Saturday afternoon euchre had just under 10 tables of players hoping to be winners. The first-place team was Delores Howatt and Lillian with 79 points. The second- place team was Doreen Skinner and Marjorie Mogk with 73 points and in third was couple George and Gloria Love with 72 points. The lone-hand prizes went to Frank Hulley for the men and Joann MacDonald for the ladies. The low prize for the day went to Stuart and Lois Chamney with a low of 42 points. Euchre is every two weeks. The Sunday night dance had a great crowd of over 100 enjoying the music of the Country Versatiles. The seniors luncheon held on Monday at noon had over 35 enjoy a roast pork dinner. Seniors Chair, Comrade Wanda Walker welcomed everyone to the afternoon. After dinner was enjoyed, she introduced Neil McGavin. Neil spoke and showed slides from his family’s recent trip to New Zealand. He and Marie, along with other area Brussels folks, attended the World Plowing Match held in the beautiful country of New Zealand. It was a lovely afternoon enjoyed by all. Helping out for the meal were Wanda, Mary Bradshaw, Deb Cann, Dianne Machan, John Lowe and Jo- Ann McDonald.

Stokeswas brought back to give the sermon for the special anniversary ceremony on the weekend. At that point in time, the church was part of a four- point parish including Brussels, Blyth, Auburn and Belgrave. Currently, St. John’s part of a four- point parish called the Anglican Parish of New Beginnings that includes Brussels, Blyth, Lucknow and Wingham, the church has shared a parish with many churches over the years, including St. Alvin’s in Atwood, St. David’s in Henfryn and St. George’s in Walton. In the June 10 issue of The Citizen, the report of the Brussels United Church Women’s May meeting incorrectly identified Pastor Sandra Cable as showing pictures and telling of her trip to China when it was actually Joan Bernard who travelled to China and gave a presentation. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Fish fry crew works overtime At the Branch Oops!
